Would that be like taking the user interface guidelines and paradigms of
soups and a newtonscript type language (maybe python or Java), on a
linux kernel? To go even further, this effort could focus on the Sharp
Zaurus platform. Maybe the group could focus on building a desktop that
is Newton-like for that platform. The hardware is excellent, but the gui
is very linux like (yuk). Just a thought.
